Abstract: A small copy of the Mandelbrot set defines a certain renormalization operator on the space of quadratic-like polynomials. The hyperbolicity of such operator implies, for instance, strong consequences to the geometry of the Mandelbrot set. We will give an overview of this topic; we will roughly follow http://www.jstor.org/stable/120968.
